BONUS SEGMENT – In this heartfelt tribute, we remember Mets legend Davey Johnson, who passed away at 82. The franchise's all-time winningest manager who led the team to a 1986 World Series victory and six playoff-worthy seasons, Davey’s impact stretched beyond stats. From Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden to the bitter feud with GM Frank Cashen, we break down the rise, dominance, and fall of a dynasty derailed too soon.
We dig into:
The 80s Mets era and its missed opportunities
Why Johnson’s firing in 1990 was a massive turning point
His innovative use of stats before analytics were cool
How he revived teams like the Reds, Orioles, and Nationals
Mets fans — especially those too young to remember the glory years — this is a must-watch.
🧢 RIP Davey Johnson. Mets history won't forget.
